Flimsy Hammers could get smashed at Saints

Top tips for the Saturday 3pm games

Bournemouth v WatfordBournemouth struggled to break down a determined West Brom last weekend but punters should expect a goalfest when leaky Watford visit Dean Court.

Eddie Howe’s men created little at the Hawthorns but the Cherries enjoyed 71 per cent of the possession and they failed to score in just three home matches last season.

Watford played with a high intensity in their 3-3 thriller with Liverpool and they may feel like they can hurt the Cherries. But they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 14 league away matches and they are deficient defensively.

WatfordTroy Deeney may feature but Daryl Janmaat, Roberto Pereyra and Younes Kaboul will all miss out.

Key statAll four Premier League encounters between Bournemouth and Watford have ended in draws.

Liverpool v Crystal PalaceDefensive frailties - all too apparent last term - came back to haunt Liverpool at Watford in their opener and they may need their fleet-footed frontmen to get them out of trouble when Crystal Palace come calling.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds were a joy to watch when Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino were in full flow against the Hornets but they conceded three times from just four efforts on goal.

Palace have notched in ten of their last 11 meetings with Liverpool and can do so again.

Crystal PalaceWilfried Zaha is sidelined but Yohan Cabaye and James McArthur may be fit enough to return.

Key statLiverpool conceded in 26 of their 38 Premier League games last term.

Leicester v BrightonLeicester showed glimpses of their 2015-16 title-winning form when succumbing to a 4-3 defeat at the Emirates last weekend and the lively Foxes should have too much firepower for Brighton.

The Foxes were clinical infront of goal, they scored with each of their three efforts on target, and their classic counter-attacking style was used to good effect.

Harry Maguire and Wes Morgan have the makings of a resolute rearguard and the promoted Seagulls, who were defeated 2-0 by Manchester City last weekend, could struggle to land a blow.
